the vehicle or safely contain the DC high voltage within the drive motor generator battery assembly. The 3 contactors are a positive high voltage
contactor, negative high voltage contactor, and current limit relay. These contactor/relays close and open in sequence and are controlled by the
drive motor generator battery control module. The drive motor generator battery control module monitors the control circuit voltage and 12 V
reference circuit internal to the control module to determine if the circuit is operating.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON.
* The 12 V battery voltage is 9-18 V.
* The current limit relay is commanded open.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC sets when the high voltage current limit relay control circuit voltage and the drive motor generator battery control modules internal
voltage reference are within 2 V of each other when the current limit relay is commanded open.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P0AE7 is a type C DTC.
* After 2 failed high-voltage precharge events, a 20-40 minute precharge wait time is activated by the drive motor generator battery control
module.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0AE7 is a type C DTC.
